Title: Enclosure including cement-based armoured panels for ATM protection
Inventor: HARDY DAVID
IPC: E05G1/024
Filed: 2010-12-06
Abstract: An enclosure, for an auto teller machine (ATM) 2 and the like, is assembled from a plurality of panels 10   , 32. The panels include armoured panels 10    comprising high strength cement configured to resist cutting attack and including a first attachment formation for attaching to a wall of the ATM 2 and a first part of a second attachment formation 18 for connection to second panels 32. Second panels 32 are non-armoured panels to be mounted edge-to-edge with the armoured panels 10    and including a second part of the second attachment formation to cooperate with the first part 18. The non-armoured panels may be a fabricated sheet metal component. The attachment formations may be co-operating mushroom studs 18 and keyhole formations on the panels. The armoured panels 10    may be used to protect the lower, money holding, part of the ATM 2 and the non-armoured panels 32 are mounted to the top-edge of the armoured panels, in use, to protect the non-money storing upper part of the ATM 2. Non-armoured elongate panels can partially cover the armoured 10    and non-armoured panels 32. The multiple panel enclosure gives improved security and can be assembled in situ.

Title: A two stage, fully differential operational amplifier in which each stage has a respective common mode feedback loop
Inventor: VIDLER IAN
IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 2011-01-19
Abstract: A two stage, fully differential operational amplifier in which each stage has a respective common mode feedback loopA CMOS op-amp has a first differential gain stage DS1 having a first common mode feedback loop CMFB1, followed by a second differential gain stage DS2 having a second common mode feedback loop CMFB2. The first common mode feedback loop CMFB1 includes an amplifier 5 to monitor and correct the output of the first differential gain stage DS1 and the second common mode feedback loop CMFB2 includes an amplifier 15 to monitor and correct the output of the second differential gain stage DS2. There is an output buffer stage OS and the second common mode feedback amplifier 15 corrects the output of the second differential gain stage DS2 by monitoring the output of the buffer stage OS. The bandwidth of the op-amp is extended by the use of two gain stages, the first of which has a peak in its frequency response which compensates for the roll-off in the frequency response of the second stage. As a result, the overall 3-dB bandwidth is increased. The arrangement overcomes problems of common mode stability in prior art fully differential op-amps. Frequency compensation is discussed.

Title: A transponder shifts a received interrogation signal in frequency and uses the shifted signal as a carrier signal for data transmissions to a reader
Inventor: HART ALAN DAVID
IPC: G01S13/75
Filed: 2011-03-25
Abstract: In method of communicating with a deployed communication system, for example a transponder (40), a response signal is received from the transponder (40) in response to an interrogation signal that has been transmitted to the transponder (40) at a first carrier frequency, fcarrier1 (210 in Fig. 5a). The response signal comprises the interrogation signal shifted by the transponder to a second, different, carrier frequency, fcarrier2 (220, Fig. 5a). The second carrier frequency (220) is separated from the first carrier frequency by a shift frequency, fshift. A message signal from the transponder (40) is carried on the shifted interrogation signal (220). The response signal also contains unwanted signals, at the first carrier frequency (210), caused by reflections of the interrogation signal. A low-pass filter (110) has a cut-off frequency lower than the shift frequency. The response signal is mixed 90 with an oscillator signal 100 at or close to the second carrier frequency to produce a downshifted signal f0 comprising the shifted interrogation signal further shifted to baseband, or at least to a frequency lower than the cut-off frequency, and the unwanted signals shifted to a frequency fshift (210', Fig. 5b) or at least to a frequency higher than the cut-off frequency. The message signal is extracted from the filtered downshifted signal.

Title: Method of operating a hybrid powertrain
Inventor: BOLOGNA GIUSEPPE MAZZARA
IPC: B60W10/08
Filed: 2012-04-05
Abstract: The invention provides a method of operating a hybrid powertrain 101 of a motor vehicle (100 see fig 1). The hybrid powertrain 101 comprises a motor-generator electric unit 500 and an internal combustion engine 110 such as a diesel engine. The operating method comprises the steps of performing fuel injections, monitoring a position of an accelerator pedal (446 see fig 3), and cutting the fuel injections off if the accelerator pedal (446) is completely released. The method further comprises operating the motor-generator electric unit 500 to generate torque, if the fuel injections are cut off, and monitored engine speed decreases below a threshold value. A preferable condition to the torque generation is that a clutch is engaged, as engine stall can thus be prevented. Sufficient electric power and battery 505 charge are also preferable conditions. The invention is aimed at reducing fuel consumption relative to hybrids having a known idle control strategy.
